Okay so that over the cam under the cam thing really got me mad at myself in ways I cannot explain. I make mistakes same as everyone else but to not even think about that arm going on/in more than one way when I was putting it back together makes me so frustrated with myself.

Why didn't I go look at pics to be sure, that arm or rod or spring thing whatever it's called on the fuel pump was giving me SUCH a hard time, I don't like giving up but know I shouldn't pry on stuff even when I really really really want to. So I had to ask the BF for help because he doesn't pry (he stabs lol but that's a different story) and I didn't want to risk breakin stuff as I was so close to getting it all back together.

Pennyman reminding me of the hard reality that I'm really blonde on the inside made me go look for pics. And so now I'm wondering which way the BF put it on, and which way it's supposed to be... zoom in on the pics shows the arm WAS on top of the camshaft... am I being ditzy on what things are called again? I do do that, more often with age lol, but seriously either way now I'll have to go see which way it's actually been installed.

The pics are from when I was taking everything apart... I didn't know the arm could go on top of or under. I bet the BF didn't know either, I wonder if it would actually FIT under, as if it would maybe be impossible for the BF to do it wrong? Maybe it's just wishful thinking

If it was installed the wrong way - would it make a bad noise? Or feel warm on the top of the fuel pump. I really did feel every thing possible under that hood when it shut itself off, desperate to find out why & if any part at all over heated, and that fuel pump top was not warm. I don't even know if 45-60 seconds of running would make it warm even if it DID overheat?

*exhales* okeedokes, no panicking. I'll check everything mentioned here in this thread post as soon as I possibly can. I will absolutely take pics & post what I find. I'd be so lost without you guys, or at least tearing every darn thing apart unnecessarily out of desperation.

Big big hugs & much much thanks!!!!!!!!
